Gettysburg Museum has "fused" bullets on display. Fascinating sight. One would think it impossible until you realize just how close together the ranks were and how close together both lines generally were.
Too bad the entire war wasn't fought on that basis. He whose bullet mushroomed the most, won!Heres a couple more....
The first one here was recovered around in the Fredericksburg or Culpeper area of Va. I got to examine this one while working on a film documentary. Difficult to tell in these quick photos I took of it, but appears to be a Sharps Carbine Bullet on one side, and the other is a Confederate made Richmond Labs/Arsenal Sharps Carbine bullet...

I suppose that you'll be impervious to all that lead that doesn't collide with one another? if we don't hear from you shall we assume the worst?excellente. thanks for posting..shows you just how thick the air was at times. In archery the term 'robin hood' refers to when an arrow is shot straight up the azz'le (sound that one out) of an arrow already in the target...I imagine a lead conical bullet is even harder to replicate this with...yet it happened, often. When @Chattahooch33 and I finish our time machine, we will report back with exactly how thick the air was with the aforementioned lead. We will also charge for subsequent trips (and deservedly so) for anyone else who would like to go along when we finish our initial round of time travel.
They are known to be modern, shot together on purpose. One of my snowbird friends bought one at a flee market, and then found the same dealer, had a different one two more years running ????
That's a neat find. Thanks for sharing.View attachment 31432
Just thought I would show these, I found them while hunting close to Kennesaw Mountain on private property about 30 years ago. I soon realized a tree had fallen and rotted away since they were in a straight line about 12 inches wide and about 20 feet long, I didn't know until I got home that two of them were shot together.
